"A funny, sweet, original picture book about adapting to babies’ needs." Guardian
Down in the hollow, where creepy tangles grow, a knight finds something green, something grotti. He explains that he can’t stay because he is very busy (“I’ve got beasts to battle and kingdoms to defend!”). But he can’t just leave this sad, lost – and very big-eyed! – baby monster, can he?
With originality and humour, Leonie Lord explores the way babies enter our lives: demanding new levels of care and attention, but also filling us up with love and stealing our hearts for ever.
Leonie Lord studied illustration at Central St. Martin's College before becoming an editorial illustrator (whose clients included the Sunday Telegraph and the Guardian) and, then, a picture book illustrator. Her books include The Dirty Great Dinosaur, written by Martin Waddell, and Ding Dong Gorilla, written by Michelle Robinson. She is also the author and illustrator of Super Duper Penguin Slide.
